| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Vertical transmission of dengue is rare. However, the rapid rise of dengue infection is a risk in pregnancy which can lead to preterm delivery, low birth weight, stillbirth, miscarriage, neonatal morbidity and mortality. Here, we present a case of perinatal transmission of dengue in a term neonate who presented with fever on second day of life and desaturation without respiratory distress. Laboratory findings showed thrombocytopenia, dengue Ag NS1/IgM positive and treatment was started. There was positive maternal history of dengue 10 days prior to delivery. Hence, early investigations with prompt interventions was done leading to uneventful recovery. | |
